2014 Half-Year Production Report
Following completion of the Glencore Xstrata merger on 2 May 2013, production information for all periods covered in
this report has been presented on a combined basis.
Key Highlights:
– Own sourced copper production up 13% to 741,000 tonnes, primarily driven by Mutanda ramp-up and improved
production at Collahuasi. Sequential half-yearly production was down 12%, reflecting lower head grades on account
of mine sequencing (Collahuasi and Antamina) and planned maintenance shuts (Collahuasi, Mount Isa and Mopani).
– Own sourced zinc production was 650,400 tonnes, down 11%, primarily due to Perseverance and Brunswick mines
having depleted their reserves in June 2013. Sequential half-yearly production was broadly in line, reflecting Perkoa
ramp-up, largely offsetting mine sequencing lower grades at Antamina and some opportunistic favouring of 3rd party
feed at Kazzinc.
– Own sourced nickel production was 49,100 tonnes, down 8%, reflecting the XNA (Sinclair and Cosmos) and
Falcondo mines now all being placed on care and maintenance. Sequential half-yearly production was up 8%, due
to higher production at INO (increased Raglan volumes) and the continued start-up / ramp-up at Koniambo.
– Own sourced ferrochrome production was 652,000 tonnes, up 16%, reflecting increased capacity due to the prior
period Eskom power buy-back programme and a ramp-up in production relating to the Lion 2 expansion project.
– Own sourced coal production was up 5% to 71.2 million tonnes, mainly due to productivity improvements and
ongoing expansion projects in Australian thermal coal, and a 32 day strike at Cerrejón which impacted Q1 2013.
– Gross oil E&P production was 14.0 million barrels, up 41%, relating to full period operations at Alen (EG) and Badila
(Chad) which came on line during 2013.
– On 31 July 2014, the sale of Las Bambas completed, whereby Glencore received proceeds, net of tax, of
approximately $6.5 billion, including the reimbursement of capital expenditure and other project costs incurred since
1 January 2014.
– On 8 July 2014, Glencore completed the acquisition of Caracal Energy Inc., an oil exploration and development
company with operations in the Republic of Chad for consideration of approximately $1.6 billion.

OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
Copper assets
Total own sourced copper production was 741,000 tonnes, 13% (83,000 tonnes) higher than the comparable period. The
increase mainly relates to the ramp-up in production at Mutanda, Katanga and Antapaccay, plus improved production at
Collahuasi as the operation continues to process at the higher levels achieved during H2 2013, following the restart of
the SAG mill.
African copper
African copper production was 212,300 tonnes, 24% (40,800 tonnes) ahead of the comparable period. The increase
primarily relates to the ramp up at Mutanda, which produced 98,600 tonnes, an increase of 37,400 tonnes (61%) and
reflects the recent expansion to 200,000 tonnes per annum. Katanga also increased production by 12,300 tonnes (20%)
relating to the ongoing commissioning of phase IV. Katanga production is expected to ramp up further during the rest of
2014 as phase V is completed and further operational improvements, including adding some back-up power generator
capacity, are implemented.
Cobalt production was 8,100 tonnes, 9% higher than the comparable period and relates to the Mutanda expansion.
Collahuasi
The group's share of production was 105,900 tonnes, 58% (38,700 tonnes) above the comparable period. The increase
in production reflects a continuation of the high levels of processing seen in H2 2013 following the SAG mill restart and
higher head grades.
Antamina
The group's share of copper production was 61,400 tonnes, in line with the comparable period. Copper production has
benefited from higher milled volumes, offset by lower grades and recoveries in Q2 2014, due to the processing of long
term lower grade stockpiles.
Zinc production was 27,100 tonnes, 49% lower than the comparable period and relates to the mining of higher grade
copper / lower grade zinc areas during the period.
Other South America
Copper production from Other South America was 173,900 tonnes, 4% (6,700 tonnes) higher than the comparable
period. The increase relates to higher milling rates at Antapaccay, partially offset by the closure of the Tintaya SX/EW
operations in October 2013.
Gold production was 176,000 oz, 4% lower than the comparable period, relating to expected lower head grades at
Antapaccay.
Australia
Australia copper production was 116,000 tonnes, 4% (4,500 tonnes) higher than the comparable period, relating to
higher own sourced production at the Mount Isa smelter due to the production of more own sourced concentrates.
Gold production was 27,000 oz, 69% higher than the comparable period relating to the treatment of a higher proportion
of Ernest Henry concentrate (containing gold) versus Mount Isa concentrate (containing no gold) than in H1 2013.
Custom metallurgical assets
Custom copper cathode production was 345,100 tonnes, 8% (28,600 tonnes) lower than the comparable period. The
reduction mainly relates to lost production at Pasar due to the damage caused by typhoon Haiyan, offset by higher
throughput at Townsville. Pasar restarted production at the end of Q1 2014, ramping up during Q2 2014.
Custom copper anode production was 266,000 tonnes, 4% higher than the comparable period, relating to higher
throughput at Horne.
Zinc assets
Total own sourced zinc production was 650,400 tonnes, 11% (79,100 tonnes) below the comparable period. The
reduction mainly relates to the end of mine closure of the Perseverance and Brunswick mines in June 2013 and, to a
lesser degree, the lower grades being mined at Antamina in the current year.
Total own sourced lead production was 148,900 tonnes, 3% (4,300 tonnes) lower than the comparable period. The
principal movements relates to the lost production from the closure of Brunswick (13,500 tonnes) as noted above, offset
by growth (11,700 tonnes) at the Lady Loretta mine (part of Mount Isa complex).
Kazzinc
Zinc production from own sources was 99,200 tonnes, 6% below the comparable period, reflecting an opportunistic
decision (cost savings etc.) to treat more third party sulphide material and therefore less own source oxide ore. Total zinc
production including third party material was up 3% at 151,200 tonnes.
Gold production from own sources was 246,000 oz, 11% lower than the comparable period due to the decision to once
again treat less own source concentrates in favour of more third party precious metal containing material. Own sourced
concentrate production (and gold contained) was in line with the comparable period, with the untreated concentrates
remaining in inventory for treatment in future periods. Total gold production (including third party material) was only
slightly less than the comparable period.
Lead production from own sources was 11,500 tonnes, down 26% versus the comparable period and relates to lower
work in progress being processed at the smelters in 2014 and an expected small reduction in head grades. On a total
metal basis (including third party material), lead production was 61,500 tonnes, up 41% on the comparable period and
reflects the higher output of the new Isa lead smelter.
Copper production from own sources was 19,100 tonnes, down 29% versus the comparable period, relating to temporary
repair work, plus the impact of processing less work in progress at the smelters in 2014. Total copper metal production
(including third party material), was similarly impacted, down 19% over the comparable period.
Australia
Australia zinc production was 302,200 tonnes, in line with the comparable period. This relates to higher production at
Mount Isa (growth from the Lady Loretta expansion), partially offset by a reduction at McArthur River as a result of lower
head grades due to mine sequencing and minor disruptions associated with the expansion project.
Lead production was 107,000 tonnes, 9% higher than the comparable period. The increase relates to the expansion at
Lady Loretta and strong production at Black Star (both Mount Isa), offset by lower production at McArthur River (noted
above).
North America
North America zinc produced 69,000 tonnes of zinc, 48% lower than the comparable period and no lead, reflecting the
end of mine life closures of Perseverance and Brunswick in June 2013. Excluding the impact of the closed mines, North
America zinc increased production by 25,100 tonnes, reflecting the ramp-up of the Bracemac mine (started production in
May 2013), offset by lower production from Kidd due to mining restrictions as a result of temporary stope unavailability
and a focus on higher copper grade areas.
Copper production was 23,000 tonnes, 6% lower than the comparable period, relating to lost copper production from the
closed Perseverance mine, offset by mining higher copper grade areas at the Kidd mine.
Other Zinc
The Other zinc asset group produced 152,900 tonnes, 12,200 tonnes (9%) above the comparable period, relating to the
ramp-up of Perkoa (24,900 tonnes), offset by net lower production from the other assets, including the maintenance
smelter shut down at AR Zinc.
Lead production was 30,400 tonnes, 16% (4,100 tonnes) above the prior year period, mainly relating to higher production
from AR Zinc due to increasing the milling capacity and higher head grades.
European custom metallurgical assets
Custom zinc and lead production were 388,200 tonnes and 100,500 tonnes, up 4% and 28% respectively versus the
prior year period. The increases mainly relate to the full period contribution from Portovesme's zinc and lead plants
following the respective SX plant commissioning and Kivcet plant restart in 2013.
Nickel assets
Own sourced nickel production was 49,100 tonnes, 4,000 tonnes (8%) lower than the comparable period. The decline
relates mainly to the XNA (Cosmos and Sinclair) and Falcondo operations, which together produced 10,100 tonnes in
H1 2013, subsequently being placed into care and maintenance. The lost production was in part offset by production from
Koniambo as it ramps up and production growth at INO, due to increased output from the Raglan mine.
Integrated Nickel Operations ("INO")
INO's own sourced nickel production was 27,400 tonnes, 15% (3,500 tonnes) higher than the comparable period, due to
a higher proportion of own sourced feed (total nickel production was 44,700 tonnes, broadly in line with the comparable
period). The higher proportion of own source feed was driven primarily by increased production from the Raglan mine.
Own sourced copper production was 27,800 tonnes, 6% higher than the comparable period. The increase relates to the
maintenance shut at the Strathcona mill in Q1 2013, which resulted in a reduction in the quantity of Sudbury ore being
processed and better processing rates in general.
Australia
Own sourced nickel production was 17,600 tonnes, 21% below the comparable period. The reduction relates to the
Cosmos and Sinclair mines being placed in care and maintenance and a slight decline in average ore grades at Murrin
Murrin. Total packaged nickel at Murrin Murrin (including third party material) was 2% higher than the comparable period
due to higher throughput at the plant.
Koniambo
Koniambo production was 4,100 tonnes of nickel in ferronickel during the period. Ramp-up activities remain ongoing with
full annualised production expected in 2016.
Ferroalloys assets
Ferrochrome
Attributable ferrochrome production was 652,000 tonnes, 16% (91,000 tonnes) above the comparable period. The
increase relates to the non-recurring Eskom power buy-back programme that occurred during 2013 and the ramp up in
production of Lion phase 2 (furnaces C and D started production in April and June 2014 respectively).
Platinum Group Metals ("PGM")
PGM H1 2014 production was 76,000 oz, consistent with the comparable period.
Vanadium
Vanadium production was 9.7 million lbs, in line with the comparable period.
Manganese
Total manganese (ferromanganese and silicon manganese) production was 109,000 tonnes, 16% higher than the
comparable period. The increase relates to higher throughput in Norway (silicon manganese) due to efficiency
improvements and demand led increases in France (ferromanganese).
Aluminium assets
Sherwin Alumina
Alumina production was 776,000 tonnes, broadly in line with the comparable period, notwithstanding significant power
and steam outages caused by the third party energy supplier during 2014.

OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
Coal assets
Total own sourced production was 71.2 million tonnes, 5% higher than the comparable period. The increase arises from
Australian thermal coal, due to productivity improvements and ongoing expansion projects, and Cerrejón which was
impacted by a 32 day strike in Q1 2013. These increases were, in part, offset by a reduction in coking coal production
due to a decision to scale back production from higher cost mines and areas.
Australian coking
Australian coking coal production was 2.9 million tonnes, 28% lower than the comparable period. The decrease relates to
cost reduction initiatives, which led to mine plan and / or roster changes at Newlands, Oaky Creek and Collinsville, the
latter also being affected by industrial issues. Volumes were also temporarily impacted when mining through a fault zone
at Oaky North.
Australian thermal and semi-soft
Australian thermal and semi-soft coal production was 30.5 million tonnes, 8% higher than the comparable period. The
increase relates to the production ramp up at Ravensworth North and Rolleston, productivity gains at Ulan underground
and Bulga and the commencement of longwall operations at Ulan West.
South African thermal
South African thermal production was 21.7 million tonnes, in line with the comparable period. This reflects the opening of
Wonderfontein open cut mine in Q1 2014, offset by various operational challenges, including wet weather and strike
action at Goedgevonden, the closure of Klippan and Wonderfontein underground mines at the end of 2013 and the
closure of the Middelburg Steelcoal pit in Q1 2014.
Prodeco
Prodeco production was 10.2 million tonnes, 6% higher than the comparable period, relating to the ongoing expansion
project, plus productivity improvements at Calenturitas and improved equipment availability across the operations.
Cerrejón
Glencore's share of Cerrejón production was 5.9 million tonnes, 31% (1.4 million tonnes) higher than the comparable
period. The increase reflects the impact of the 32 day strike that occurred in Q1 2013.
Oil E&P assets
H1 2014 gross oil production was 14.0 million barrels, 41% (4.1 million barrels) above the comparable period, relating to
Alen (Equatorial Guinea) and Badila (Chad), which started production at the end of June and September 2013
respectively.

OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
Agriculture produced / processed 4.9 million tonnes in H1 2014, 33% higher than the comparable period. The increase in
volumes mainly relates to the continued ramp up at Timbues (Argentinean crush plant), including the impact of Glencore
increasing its stake from 33% to 50%, plus higher sugarcane processing volumes, reflecting the increase in processing
capacity, as part of Rio Vermelho's ongoing expansion.

Forward looking statements
This document contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward looking statements" which are prospective in nature. These forward looking
statements may be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, or the negative thereof such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is
expected", "continues", "assumes", "is subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "aims", "forecasts", "risks", "intends", "positioned", "predicts",
"anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words or comparable terminology and phrases or statements that certain actions,
events or results "may", "could", "should", "shall", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by
the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current
predictions, expectations, beliefs, opinions, plans, objectives, goals, intentions and projections about future events, results of operations, prospects,
financial condition and discussions of strategy.
By their nature, forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Glencore's control. Forward
looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may and often do differ materially from actual results. Important factors that could cause
these uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Glencore's Annual Report 2013.
Neither Glencore nor any of its associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the
events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this document will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements which only speak as of the date of this document. Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations (including
under the UK Listing Rules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and the Rules Governing the Listing of
Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Listing Requirements of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited), Glencore is not
under any obligation and Glencore and its affiliates expressly disclaim any intention, obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This document shall not, under any circumstances, create any implication
that there has been no change in the business or affairs of Glencore since the date of this document or that the information contained herein is correct as at
any time subsequent to its date.
No statement in this document is intended as a profit forecast or a profit estimate and no statement in this document should be interpreted to mean that
earnings per Glencore share for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per Glencore
share.
This document does not constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to sell or issue, or any solicitation of any offer to purchase or subscribe for any
securities. The making of this document does not constitute a recommendation regarding any securities.
